CRAFT CIRCLE WILL MEET AT BLUE STAR PARLOR

The Craft Circle

Saturday, May 31st

3:00 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.

From The Craft Circle:

Time Flies! It’s been more than a year that I met with Shayne Zaslow at Bad Therapy. He’s a master knitter, among many other things, and offered to help me start knitting again after putting down the needles for many years.

It was so relaxing and pleasant to knit and hang out that we decided to meet again and invite others. And it grew into an all around crafts group.

So come and hang out with us this Saturday as we are into our second year. We hope to meet at Blue Star Parlor at 3 p.m. Please message me or text or call at 917-847-8330 to confirm place!! Hope to see you there!
